Has anyone got a Meshtastic node working on uconsole? I know the SX1262 chip supports it but am new to Mesh radio and was wondering if there were folks out there that have already made this work?
Yes it works. meshtasticd together with meshtastic-ui or the web ui. the hacker gadget aio package by Rex makes it easy, or you can self install. (i did the self install)
OK I kinda figured it would.. I have Rex’s package installed and am at a stand still as I dont know enough about either lora or meshtastic to know where to start. Is there any kind of a broad or high level how to available anywhere?
Hopefully the above may help
What country are you in?
Colin, Thanks that definitely assisted got it mostly completed however lost display upon checking it just before trying to use the Webserver. I am using Rex;s image with 6.12 Bookworm, with a CM5. I know if I comment out the 2 lines from step 1 in the instructions i get my display working again so there must be a configuration issue regarding the SPI setting and the fact im using a CM5. Understand if this is out of your wheelhouse and just wanted to say Thank You and appreciate the assist.
